Caught up to side stories in Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. It’s a short stories collection in Dresden Files universe. Only 1 short story and 1 novella remaining in the book. Short story is after next the book and the novella is after the book after that.
Now reading The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. I have this book in my library for over 15 years. Bought it a long time ago just by looking at King’s name, but then assumed it must be a part of a series (at that time all fantasy I had read were part of series), so left it for later and then forgot. Someone mentioned the book somewhat recently, and I looked it up again and found out it’s a standalone book, so finally reading it now.
It’s written in very different style from King’s usual work, like a tale told orally. It’s also a medieval fantasy, with kings, magic and dragons. Also, not as long, less than 400 pages. I am about halfway done, and enjoying the book. Should finish it soon-ish.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I’ve been meaning to read Side Jobs - does it finally explain the sasquatch? Gotta do something while I’m waiting for the next book!
I’m currently doing a re-listen to Name of the Wind and catching a lot of references I missed on the first read and first listen.
There is no Sasquatch in any of the Dresden Files novel or short story yet. So, don’t know.
Dresden met a Sasquatch named Strength of a River in His Shoulders between Fool Moon and Grave Peril to help him with something. He only exists in short stories until Peace Talks.
The Bigfoot bit is explained in 3 stories in the collection Brief Cases or the separate Working for Bigfoot collection that just features them.
Ah, okay, thanks! I love reading them, but James Marsters is phenomenal on the audio books, so maybe I’ll check that collection out as well.
